			==Transition of Care==
			#Start transition of care as early as possible, but no later than 17 years of age. This will ensure the patient still has Medicaid coverage for themselves and their parent/guardian to fly with them to Bethel and Anchorage for appointments with adult Bethel providers and specialists.
			#For complex pediatric patients identified as needing to transition to adult care-pediatric and adult medicine case managers find an accepting IM or FM provider for the patient and make an initial appointment with that provider. Ideally, the initial appointment is scheduled with an outpatient pediatrician followed by an in-person handoff to the adult provider.
			#Clinic pharmacist reviews medications for transition from pediatric to adult medications/doses.
			#Pediatrician writes a transition of care summary on an alert note in the patient’s chart. This note should be forwarded to the accepting adult medicine provider for review prior to the appointment.
			#Pediatrician updates the Problem List and may reference the transition of care summary alert note (with date) in the comments.
			#Pediatric and adult providers and case managers should document that the patient and family are aware of the transition process and that they demonstrate an understanding of diagnoses and care plans.
			#When transition is complete (usually by age 18), pediatrician removes the CPP alert from the patient banner.
			#If the patient is still seeing a pediatric specialist after 18 years of age, the accepting adult provider can communicate with the pediatric specialist directly and encourage transition to adult specialist.
			#Pediatricians and pediatric case managers will remain available for consultations and assistance throughout transition of care process.
